BEREA, Ohio — Joe Thomas said Wednesday that he could play on peg legs.

The Browns’ perennial Pro Bowl left tackle wasn’t bragging or insinuating Seamus Levine from Family Guy could have a career as an offensive lineman.

Thomas used the graphic description to illustrate a point of how a player at his position could play through a high ankle sprain while the same injury, depending on the severity, could sideline Browns defensive lineman Myles Garrett for weeks.

“When you are a defensive player and you have to run and bend and get up on your toes, it’s an entirely different injury,” said Thomas, who played through such pain several years ago. “When you have a high ankle sprain, you can’t get up on your toes. Even though you can feel good enough to get out there and tape it up and brace it up as much can, you’re just not the same player you were before the injury.”
